Yes.  The GPL banner is in place and the on the editing form updated to specify that the default license for new content is GPL 2 or later.  The default MediaWiki installation does not otherwise pre-populate pages like the copyright and privacy policies; they can be readily edited.

I propose to use the ConfirmEdit extension and its SimpleCaptcha option [1], which presents a text-based addition or subtraction math problem, for new account registrations and edits that add external URLs.  If (well, when) spam presents itself as a problem, we'll deal with it as it occurs.
